Breakfast Casserole

Share this:

I think it’s safe to say that as chicken keepers, we have all tried different kinds of breakfast casserole recipes. After all, it’s a great way to showcase those beautiful farm fresh eggs. Many breakfast casserole recipes use a few eggs at a time, which is something chicken keepers also need to do, when we are swimming in eggs. And, I don’t know about you, but I don’t regard eggs as only a breakfast food; I love eating eggs for dinner too. Hence, why I think the name breakfast casserole is misleading.

This breakfast casserole recipe calls for cottage cheese, which made me curl my nose a little. Don’t get me wrong, I like cottage cheese, but combined with eggs…I wasn’t convinced. I tried the recipe (with a few tweaks) anyway. Not only was I pleasantly surprised, but my family loved this dinner also. We’ve had it two ways, once with bacon and once with ham.

Using the same base recipe, it is easy to change out the meat to what your prefer or what your refrigerator dictates.
